it's ridiculous. I have an absurdly well paying job, literally 4x what I was making previously, and my 1 bd apartment in the suburbs still costs nearly 50% of my income.

People who go to college/university and then complain about "having" to be educated while there always baffle me.

You just want job training? Go to a trade school! I use my cousin, a master welder, as an example. He didn't choose welding training & then complain about having to learn to weld.

You gotta focus on what you are excited to DO, not who you imagine you will get to BE. That way lies madness and striving and tragedy.

Dishonored 2 had this with some clockwork combat robots. You encounter some prototypes that creator has left in debug mode, that say things like "I am entering patrol mode." "Moving to enemy's last known location." "Resetting state machine." corresponding to the actual behavior tree. I was a big fan
